I think he could turn it around this year. Not saying I'd start him at 2B in a 12 team league, but I think he's a great low-cost option at MI. He's my 2 bagger on my Rotohog team because I got him for $2.

117 ab's-- 41 hits= .350 avg

1 hr

18 rbi's

23 runs

8 sb's

bet you didn't realize he has been that good in Colorado. He hits 2nd, and ya know Holliday, Atkins, & Helton will get him in a whole lot. More reason why I am very excited about him.

I was aware of those numbers. But 117 is a pretty small sample. I doubt he bats over .275 if he gets 500 ABs. Aside from that, I think the only category he'll improve in significantly this season is runs scored. And even then not enough to make him worthy of a roster spot in most leagues. I'd remain wary of Kaz.

Hmm... In light of his numbers, I went ahead and pulled one more stat:

2005 BB% (NYM): ~5%
2006 BB% (NYM): ~4%
2006 BB% (COL): ~12%

And continuing the excruciatingly small sample size analysis, his BB% this year is 10%.

Again, it was a small sample size, but a jump in patience like that isn't usually something that players just go through in spurts. Maybe the change of scenery did do him some good. I can't imagine it's the lineup he's in. I mean, nothing against the Rockies, but the Mets have a better offense.

Supposing he does increase his OBP and R stats, I could see him having worth in 14+ team leagues. His utter lack of power will keep him from ever being a starter in a shallow league, though.

See? This is why you don't post your sleepers.

I wholeheartedly believe Kaz just needed a change of scenery. NY ate him up. It happens to alot of guys. Now I think he may reach that potential everyone thought he had when he came over. I see him hitting 12-15 HRs, 100 Runs (Hitting in front of Helton, Holliday, and Atkins will help him with that), 55-60RBIs, 30 SBs, and .285. I've drafted him in the last round of every draft I have with a MI position. And now that I've come on and said that I await the imminant demise of Kaz Matsui.

Everyone laughed at me for this thread, so don't worry about being the lone voice crying out in the wilderness!

BTW, I drafted Kaz in the final round of the Evans 16-team Yahoo league.

Everyone? I see one person harrassing you, and a couple other singular disagreements. For the most, people in that thread agreed with you.

12-15 hrs? He hit 13 hrs in his entire MLB career, which has 979 ABs. The colorado air can't make a "contact hitter" into a pull hitter.
